    Carissa05 got a reaction from SweetPeas in Over night bag   
    I had my VSG on 6/30 and it helped that I had a small pillow to hold against my abdomen when riding home so when my husband hit bumps in the road it didn't hurt as bad and with having the seat belt on.

    Under the General Weight Loss Forum, subforum General Weight Loss Surgery Discussion, there is a thread re: the "official" list of what to pack for surgery. It is 38 pages long! Although it was started in 2010, there are more recent posts, too. It took me hours to go through it, but I learned ALOT.
    Hope this helps.
    My RNY is Monday, & I've almost finished packing & preparing food for my family, cleaning house, paying bills, etc. Whew!

    @@Carissa05 has good advice. The hubs brought me a pillow and I sandwiched it in half under the seatbelt. It made the 2 hour ride home a lot more tolerable.

    I don't believe the stomach is actually attached anywhere except to the esophagus at the top and the small intestines at the bottom: our digestive is one long tube.
    I would definitely call your surgeon and ask when it would be OK to use an inversion table. I would be more concerned about making sure you have been cleared to do something that really engages your abs.
